The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recently presented the City of Brighton with the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. 

GFOA’s Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting. GFOA established this certificate program to encourage and assist state and local governments to go beyond the minimum requirements of generally accepted accounting principles. This certificate program fosters annual comprehensive financial reports that evidence the spirit of transparency and full disclosure and recognizes the individual governments that succeed in achieving the goal.

“The Finance team works hard to ensure our financial reporting meets the highest standards and I'm very happy we have received this recognition for our 2021 reporting,” said Catrina Asher, Director of Finance. “It's a notable accomplishment for our team.”
